In addition, according to her, the area requirement per buyer could be twice what is currently applied in the food trade: 30 m2. meters.

“We would also agree to 50 m2 M. meters. It is really possible to start with higher security requirements,” R. Vainienė told BNS on Friday after a meeting with President Gitanas Nausėda.

“There is no reason to say that in stores where we even offer a higher space requirement, where people go less frequently, there will be a higher risk of infection than in existing outlets,” he added.

According to her, the meeting also asked whether companies would agree to reduce activities according to the municipalities where morbidity is lower, but R. Vainienė says that this path does not seem significant for companies.

Jolanta Mačiulienė, president of the Association of hairdressers and beauty specialists, who attended the meeting with the president, told BNS that G. Nausėda had promised to decide the fate of the businesses still closed on Monday.

“We have expressed all our sorrows, our situation, the president met him and said that on Monday there will be a meeting of the president with Prime Minister Ingrida Šimonytė and our fate will be decided,” J. Mačiulienė told BNS.

“We hope it is favorable for us and we can start working.” “We have said that we can provide safe services and work safely,” he added.

G. Nausėda says that when the pandemic situation changes, a safe balance must be sought between epidemiological and socio-economic objectives.

According to him, companies should strengthen safe operating standards and adhere to them until society acquires herd immunity; its ability to operate with greater freedom depends on itself, the Presidency reported.

After the government decided on Wednesday not to allow hairdressers and non-food shops with a separate entrance, Economy and Innovation Minister Aušrinė Armonaitė said she still believed that this business could resume operations. He recognized that the situation, with different restrictions on different businesses, is imperfect.

According to the minister, the entire quarantine release plan, adjusted according to experts and other ideas, should be approved at the meeting of the Government Emergency Commission next Monday.
